I couldn't agree more with all your points. I am still weaning myself off of the but finding the community here is growing. It's slow growth but hopefully we can convince more to join us in this kinder social media.

and ... Invite a friend!

(I should probably make sure to thank, my friend, @Flominator for forcing me over here šŸ˜)

Although OpenAI teased image, audio, and video processing in March, the access to Code Interpreter is the feature I've been eagerly anticipating. I believe it holds immense potential, especially for genealogists. Let's see what the future holds! 6/7

A professor at Wharton has been granted early access to the Code Interpreter. To truly understand its usefulness, I encourage you to read about the discoveries documented by Dr. Ethan Mollick. While his examples and research focus on business, he has also explored use cases from the humanities. 4/7

Code Interpreter doesn't stop thereā€”it also introduces analytical and programming features. The added capabilities make it an even more powerful tool for users. It's exciting to think about the potential applications and opportunities this will bring. 3/7

OpenAI just announced that the "Code Interpreter" will soon be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers! This is a significant development, on par with or even more important than plug-in access. The Code Interpreter mode removes concerns and adds capabilities, making it highly valuable. 1/7

Sometimes, if you are looking for an in records, there is no substitute for or going page by page until you find them. Of course, you need to have a general idea where they lived. Itā€™s time consuming, but it has worked quite often for me, including tonight. I guess census takers of yore didnā€™t consider future when scrawling names in those huge books.

The at the in Pennsylvania (where 7 people died, 1 of the buildings was destroyed, and gas is a poss cause) reminded me of an article I had written awhile ago.

There was an at an meat factory building in MO in 1930. There were quite a few similarities to the modern factory disaster: Like the modern explosion, gas was suspected, an entire building was leveled, & the explosion happened around the time workers were done for the day.

The 1930 blast sent the roof of the six-story building between 50-100 feet in the air, killing 19 and injuring many. Four of the victims were young girls.

In my article, I embedded a link to a collection of newspaper articles abt the disaster. I also included a list of the victims and others whose names were in the articles. For these, I cross-referenced links to their profiles, for any researching the event.

A GENEALOGIST'S TOP 10 PROBLEMS

1. A German census taker talking to an Italian family about an Irish neighbor who wasn't home.

2. Forgets to eat for two days when a new archive goes live.

3. Census takers who were taught to write by chickens.

4. 1890.

5. Is that a 'T' or an 'F"? ... It's an F. It needs to be a 'T' or the research is wrong.

6. Spent three weeks researching the wrong Wilhemena Kopfelpultz.

7. Accidentally told Grandma she's adopted.

8. Actual tick mark or accident? Choose wisely.

9. Non-hoarding distant relatives.

10. Have to plan vacations around cemetery hours.

Everyone has those old of people we know are relatedĀ somehow, but donā€™t know exactly who theyā€™re supposed to be. have often found themselves questioning relatives in vain for hours, trying to get any kind of a name to put to the mystery subjects of old & faded , to get any idea of when or where the photos were taken.

It can be incredibly frustrating!
But thereĀ isĀ an easier way.

Even if you have no idea of which family line the photo comes from, you can often deduce what year the photo was taken; and by extension, who is in the photoā€¦ with just a little help from Google & the internet.

Hereā€™s howā€¦
